Thank you. I want to take my son and daughter and their spouses on a cruise and they are running me in all directions -- British Isles or Med with Princess, Europe with Carnival or Med with NCL. So I'm looking at hotels in Southampton, Dover and Rome. I'm beginning to be sorry I thought of this idea. My husband and I have been on many cruises. But he passed away 3 years ago and I would like to do a trip with the "kids" before I'm too old to travel.

I've been looking at hotels in Dover near the port and would appreciate some reviews and recommendations. Maison Dieu Guest House, Best Western, Royal Norfolk to name a few. Anything you could tell me would be appreciated. There will be 5 of us so I would need one single room and 2 doubles. Planning to go to Southampton seems a lot simpler. But we're looking at a Carnival cruise that begins and ends in Dover. Thanks, Lynn

You've all been so helpful. I really appreciate it. Thank you. Lynn

I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find the thread. Because of cancellations and late arrivals by air we plan on flying in a day or two before the British Isles Cruise. There will be 5 of us and I would like some choices on the best and easiest way to get from Heathrow to a hotel in Southampton. I would especially like an estimate of the prices and choices: bus versus train versus shuttle or car. I'm 86 so I'm looking for the easiest way to travel. I know this is a lot to ask but cruisers have always been helpful. Thanks, Lynn

We can finally see the British Isles cruise for June 2023. Prices look the same.

Thanks for your input. Guess I'll have to be patient. Lynn

For the last 2 days I've been unable to bring up British Isle and Mediterranean cruises for June 2023. Is anyone else having this problem? I've been keeping track of 2 cruises for June 2023 and suddenly they have disappeared from the website. Hopefully they aren't increasing the prices or eliminating these cruises.
